This data release contains five data files and two codebooks, discussed in more detail below. 

ARC_2_0_Events.rds / ARC_2_0_Events.csv			--- Dataset of all events from the SCAD and GED databases that were included in the ARC 2.0 coding. The dataset includes IDs for organizations that were identified, whether the event was maximalist, and event ids from SCAD and GED. 

ARC_2_0_Organizations.rds / ARC_2_0_Organizations.csv 	--- Data with information on features of organizations that were observed in events of dissent in the ARC_2_0_Events data. Please note that this is a cross-sectional dataset. 

ARC_2_0_Suppl_Fronts.rds / ARC_2_0_Suppl_Fronts.csv 	--- Supplementary information on organizations that were identified as fronts inclduing names and constituent organizations. 	

ARC_2_0_event_org_year_merged.rds / ARC_2_0_event_org_year_merged.csv --- A file merging the ARC_2_0_Events and ARC_2_0_Organizations datasets. Rows are organization-event-years (i.e. one observation for each organziation that was observed in an event). Where events span over multiple years, there are observations for each of those event years, largely to enable merging with the supplemental fronts data. This dataset also includes information on which organizations were fronts and their ties (comma separated) with constituent organizations for that year. 

combine_ARC_events_orgs.R 				--- Script used to combine the ARC_2_0_Events and ARC_2_0_Organizations data

ARC_2_0_Events						--- Codebook used for identifying organizations and demands in events of dissent
ARC_2_0_Organizations.pdf 				--- Codebook used for collecting data on organziations in dissent
